Job description

Krueger Bearings Overview

Krueger Bearings is a family‑owned machine shop with over 55 years of experience delivering high-quality, precision‑machined parts. Known for our babbitt‑lined bearings and wide range of machining capabilities—including milling, turning, grinding, and broaching—we take pride in our craftsmanship, reliability, and investment in state‑of‑the‑art equipment.

Lead the Floor. Own the Craft.

Are you a veteran machinist who is ready to step into leadership without losing your connection to the machines? We’re looking for a 2nd Shift Working Supervisor who can bridge the gap between strategy and hands‑on work.

Why This is the Ultimate Leadership Role

• The Best of Both Worlds: Spend part of your time leading/mentoring and part of your time on the machines (CNC lathes, CNC mills, manual machines).
• The 4‑Day Grind: Work 10 ½‑hour shifts Monday through Thursday. Willing to work 1 Saturday (5 hours) per month when needed.
• Shift Premium: Includes a competitive shift differential on top of a leadership hourly rate.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Production: Manage workflow for the 2nd shift team, ensuring deadlines are met and quality is flawless.
• Technical Support: Act as the go‑to for complex setups, G‑code edits, and machining challenges.
• Quality Watchdog: Perform first‑article inspections and troubleshoot part deviations before they become scrap.
• Team Mentor: Train junior machinists on best practices, shop safety, and the finer points of precision machining.
• Shift Handoff: Coordinate with the 1st shift supervisor to ensure a seamless transition of work‑in‑progress.

What We’re Looking For

• Machining Mastery: 8–10+ years of experience across CNC lathes and mills.
• Natural Leadership: You’re the person people naturally go to when they have a technical question. Lead by example, not by ego.
• Shop Math Pro: Expert‑level blueprint reading (GD&T) and trigonometry.
• Reliability: Anchor for the night crew—reliable, decisive, and calm under pressure.

The Rewards

• Competitive hourly pay + shift differential.
• Full benefits package: Health, dental, vision, and 401(k) match, HSA with company match, PTO, and more.
• Modern, climate‑controlled facility.
• Career growth: Key leadership position with a direct seat at the table for shop improvements.

We do not accept any resumes from any third‑party recruiters. Direct applicants only.
